Death is proving to be no obstacle in keeping the spirit of Jimmy Buffett alive, as his Coral Reefer Band will set off on the Keep The Party Going Tour in 2026, which will include a stop at the Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park on Thursday, July 23.<\/p>\n
The monthlong tour will start on July 9 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, traveling to 19 cities. In addition to Austin, the band will play in Houston suburb The Woodlands on July 24 and Fort Worth on July 25.<\/p>\n
Buffett passed away in 2023 after a battle with skin cancer, but before he died, he asked that everyone \u201ckeep the party going.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Coral Reefer Band backed Buffett around the world for decades, and they’ll continue the tradition of delivering singalong-filled summer nights that Buffett made a yearly ritual for Parrotheads everywhere.<\/p>\n
Sharing lead vocals on the tour will be Mac McAnally, Scotty Emerick, Will Kimbrough, Peter Mayer, and Nadirah Shakoor. <\/p>\n
Fans can expect an evening filled with many of the iconic songs that defined Buffett\u2019s career, as well as deep cuts and special insights and stories from the musicians who shared such a deep connection with the singer.<\/p>\n
Buffett’s long career included over 30 albums, many of which reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200. For all of his success, it took Buffett 34 years until he achieved his first \u2014 and only \u2014 No. 1 album of his career, License to Chill in 2004.<\/p>\n
His most iconic song is “Margaritaville,” which inspired both a restaurant<\/a> chain and hotel and resort<\/a> chain.<\/p>\n On the tour, the band will also honor another long-standing tradition of Buffett\u2019s by continuing to support the charity, Singing for Change, to fund grassroots, local non-traditional community organizations turning good vibes into good deeds.<\/p>\n Tickets for the tour will be available starting with a Citi presale<\/a> beginning on Tuesday, March 17, at 10 am. <\/p>\n
